Santa Clara, USA, July 1st, 2024, Chainwire
Innovative Plan to Expand Network and Reward Node Operators through Airdrops and Voting Rights
CARV, the leading modular data layer for gaming and AI, has officially launched its Alphanet, managed by 38,000 verifier nodes valued at $35M distributed to its community. This marks a significant milestone in CARV’s mission towards complete decentralization and a future where users own their data.
The nodes empower the CARV community by giving users the ability to control, own, and monetize their data, while also providing enterprises with high-quality information to drive innovation. With the introduction of the Alphanet, node operators can test the network, playing a crucial role in maintaining system integrity and enhancing security through two-stage smart contract verification.
According to CoinDesk, CARV is transforming into a truly decentralized and scalable protocol layer by entrusting its rapidly growing community with the responsibility of validating and securing data flows. This approach allows for seamless integration of high-quality games, gamers, and applications seeking a secure and decentralized data environment.
As of June 28, users are able to download and operate the Node Operation software. Starting July 1, node owners can begin running nodes on Alphanet and potentially earn test rewards. Contributions to data validation on the Alphanet will be rewarded on mainnet launches, with 25% of the total token supply reserved for verifier rewards. This economic incentive aligns the protocol’s long-term success with the community’s interests.
CARV Co-Founder Victor Yu expressed, “From the successful distribution of nodes to today’s launch of Alphanet, we are making rapid progress towards a more decentralized and scalable network. The overwhelming participation from our community showcases the demand for an open data frontier that benefits users rather than corporations. With this milestone achieved, we can accelerate the development of the world’s most dynamic data ecosystem.”
The launch of Alphanet builds on CARV’s momentum from forming strategic partnerships. Most recently, CARV announced a partnership with double jump.tokyo Inc., a pioneering Japanese Web3 gaming company behind Oasys. Through this collaboration, double jump.tokyo and Oasys will run CARV nodes, earning staked token rewards for participating in CARV’s governance. By collaborating with gaming industry leaders such as Animoca Brands, Neowiz’ IntellaX, Google Cloud, and Netmarble’s MARBLEX, CARV is establishing itself as a key player in the gaming and AI data layer, poised to drive industry-wide innovation.
